DESCRIPTION

A permanent expression from Ron Zacapa, the Guatemalan rum brand established in 1976 to mark the centenary of the town of Zacapa. It is distilled from virgin sugar cane honey, the concentrated juice of the first pressing of the cane, rather than molasses. The rum is matured at 2,300 metres above sea level in the “House Above the Clouds” in the Guatemalan highlands. It is aged in a solera of casks that previously held American whiskey, Oloroso sherry and Pedro Ximénez sherry, blending rums aged between 6 and 23 years. Bottled at 40%. (Bottle size 750ml)

TASTING NOTES

Nose: Rich aromas of caramel, vanilla and honey, complemented by dried fruit, toasted oak, cocoa and warm baking spices.

Palate: Smooth and full-bodied, with flavours of toffee, butterscotch, dark chocolate, raisins and sweet spices, balanced by oak and roasted nuts.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of caramel, dried fruit, vanilla and gentle oak spice.
